G'day all, Here's a cover i've been mucking around with if you'd like to have a listen. I would really like some comments on the balance of the individual tracks as well as on the overall sound through your monitors (eg. too boomy, muddy etc) It's Martha my Dear and its here if you're...

Greetings friends, IF you're interested, here's an awesome beatles tune (which one isnt?) i recorded yesterday. This is really the first time ive recorded on my computer by myself, so its very ROUGH. equipment - sm57 - dodgy nylon string acoustic - bass - those CD-r plastic cases (percussion...

I hope that this forum is still visited at times................. What I would like to know is everybody's views on the differences / similarities between "Head voice" and falsetto. Do you think they are the same thing (as many people do) or are they distinctly differently produced? AS far as...

Hey guitar guys, Just wondering if any of you have ever tried your hand at making a distortion pedal? If so, does anyone have any schematics or suggestions that they can bear parting with?? I have already got a design and im just weighing up whether to proceed or if ive got something horribly...

Hi guys, Heres another mixing question pertaining to vocals. What are some effects you use on your vocals when recording? (eg. reverb, chorus, compression etc etc.) And how do you accomplish it?? (techniques, hardware?, software?) If possible, put up a short mp3 demo of the effects used...

hey guys , This forum hasnt had much action lately, so i thought i'd just ask a question of everyones recording habits. When tracking vocals , do you try to get it all right in one take ,? or are you the guy who sings each line as many times as it takes to get it right, then sing the next...

Hey guys, I was reading an 'explanation' of vibrato the other day and was finding it hard to even follow what the idiot was saying. Just wondering if anyone can give an accurate description of how it works, how it can be done and when to use it. I can use the technique fine (i think), but...

Hey y'all Does any one here purposefully "PUT ON" accents when they sing to create a certain sound, or is your singing voice a natural extension of your speaking voice?? I have to say that I (and most australians) put on american(ish) accents while singing although this is sometimes referred...

Just wondering whether any one here can tell me of any experiences where they have used only a website to market their CD. What was the response like? did you sell many?? What are some hints for getting hits?? thanks y

hey, just wondering if any of you can recommend some decent stage monitors?? or Foldbacks, so i can hear my singing. It seems that for high notes its ok without anything, as i can hear myself over the band, but as soon as i have to sing something lower it just blends in and i cant hear myself...

hey fellow vocalists, Ive been reading a few books recently (and also alot of people say) that if you have to do a performance then drink plenty of water during the day and keep warm and stuff. So on the weekend i had my first ever 'Payed gig' (yeeeha) and i made sure i drank heaps of water...

Hey i was just wondering if anyone has any good "remedies" for copious amounts of sibilance. Most of my vocal tracks seem to have heaps, and its almost unbearable when listening in head phones (someone told me cos the small cone speakers or something). anyway - i'm looking for an inexpensive...
